me to man i live off of North Solon Rd., ya im lookin for someone to help out me and my buddy, we both wanna get our ls6's installed within te next couple weeks
i'm not sure on the grinding part, never heard of that. all ls6 intake installs i've ever done folks have made sure to get the right coolant pipes from a dealer or elswhere first. that would be my recommendation, I don't like to "rig" stuff.
here would be my suggestion. my fiance and I just bought a house in rolling meadows. we move this comign friday the 17th, so things are kinda hectic for me. if you guys all want to wait till I get in the house, I took that whole week off to get settled in. I wouldn't be opposed to holding an Ls6 intake install day for everyone who wants to get it done. we used to do stuff like that back in the day and it was fun and everyone learned something and got their mod done.
that would also give you all time to get the right parts for the job. i really don't want any part of half assing anything if i'm gonna have a bunch of cars over and once doing intake installs at once

Hey Silver Ghost that sounds good to me, i am currently looking on this site to purchase my ls6, where can i get the coolant lines? also is that all i need for the conversion? I would definately be interested in coming over to get it done, let me know what other parts i need for the install, i would appreciate it
You can see if you can find the ls6 coolant line here on the board, if not you can get it at a dealer. basically there's no hard line under the intake like you have now with your stock one. the rear two are blocked off and then on the front its just a cross over pipe, what you have stock you have hard line going under the intake connecting all 4 points.
do you still have all your EGR stuff connected even with those headers? If so, youll need to get a block off plate for the passenger side header since that EGR stuff will go in the trash, LS6 intake has no provision for it.

well you have to block it off, no choice. ls6 intake has no provision for it. you can get the block off plates from Speed Inc, they've always got 'em.
losing the EGR shouldn't effect the PCM as far as I remember
